Abstract
L'invention a trait à un dispositif d'amorçage pour un tube à décharge. Elle a pour objet une disposition de circuit pour amorcer et faire fonctionner un tube à décharge, comportant un premier élément de commutation à semiconducteur ayant une électrode de gâchette distincte, et un second élément de commutation à semiconducteur qui est connecté entre ladite électrode de gâchette et une point de raccordement entre un premier condensateur et un second condensateur qui sont connectés en série avec un élément redresseur. Un circuit dans lequel lesdits premier et second condensateurs sont connectés en série, est shunté par un circuit possédant une diode Zener. Celle-ci est choisie pour avoir une tension de claquage qui est adaptée à la tension admissible maximale dudit premier condensateur connecté entre ledit élément redresseur et ledit point de raccordement L'arrangement de circuit arrête automatiquement l'opération d'amorçage après qu'un certain nombre d'essais aient été tentés. Application : notamment à l'amorçage de tubes fluorescents.The invention relates to a starting device for a discharge tube. It relates to a circuit arrangement for initiating and operating a discharge tube, comprising a first semiconductor switching element having a separate gate electrode, and a second semiconductor switching element which is connected between said gate electrode and a connection point between a first capacitor and a second capacitor which are connected in series with a rectifier element. A circuit in which said first and second capacitors are connected in series is bypassed by a circuit having a Zener diode. This is chosen to have a breakdown voltage which is matched to the maximum allowable voltage of said first capacitor connected between said rectifier element and said connection point The circuit arrangement automatically stops the firing operation after a certain many attempts have been made. Application: in particular to the ignition of fluorescent tubes.
